"Mural Mosaic"

Invented by Lewis Lavoie, Mural Mosaic is an artistic concept which brings together hundreds of artworks painted by various artists into one exceptional image.

Lewis Lavoie created his first mural mosaic in 1997, for a retaining
wall next to an art gallery in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. For this,
the artist painted hundreds of individual paintings that were ultimately
assembled to make up the face of Michelangelo’s David. It was a
monumental achievement that helped Lavoie gain international attention
for his unique style. But that was only the beginning of the mural
mosaic movement, as seven years later Lewis takes his ingenious concept
to the next level, by inviting 70 different artists to create the first
community mural mosaic. During a live 24-hour painting marathon, each
artist makes his contribution to the “Heritage Fiddler” mosaic.
